I am hesitant on buying this 1700mA battery because I heart third party ones have a chance to explode inside the phone. How reliable is thing?
Buy the 1900 mah battery from amazon its the real deal and only took twodays to get. I get a day with average use easy. It's 20 plus 4 for shipping. I bought a battery from china waited forever and they sent the wrong one stay clear of china . The one on amazon chichitec is the one i got there also is a ankor one too.

If it's cheaply made it may have less power than advertised. Their is also the potential of it blowing up! :0
I'm using a anker instead of my OEM. Way better no damage to my device. I suggest it get way more battery life.

The risk is more battery life over the OEM battery.

Hi All,
I think my battery may be on the way out - the battery life's a lot worse than it used to be. Anyone any suggestions for a good replacement? I don't want one that makes the phone any larger - just as high a capacity as possible in the original form factor. Very wary of extravagant claims on eBay!
Anyone got any recommendations?

Buy a decent OEM, ~£20 and you're good to go. I've bought 3rd party batteries before and they've been half decent, but you can't beat a HTC OEM.
You can always try cheap chineese OEMs like from dealextreme(dot)com
You could always do a diagnose of battery with a wipe of stats after full charge.
Or you could buy at dealextreme^^^

I've had a spare OEM battery for my HTC Desire since June and it does the job!

There are now like 5 extended batteries for the sensation.... which is most reliable. There are 2-3 1900mAh, one 1800 and one 2400mAh.... What is best and actually gives the biggest bump?
Anker 1900, for $10 wins have gotten excellent reviews on that thread
I would say the Chitech is also good but those are $20 and prob have the same performance as the Anker
Go with the Anker it has the most positive reviews I have one and I love it
I ordered the Chitech mainly for reputation and it has gotten good reviews as well. I don't mind paying an extra $8 (got 20% off with the OFF10 code) for reliability.
I ordered the Anker. Heard better reviews on it. So i went with my first instinct.
I like that Chitec is a little thicker than the OEM battery. This means the back cover will squeak less (I have stuck a piece of paper in there now ).
Is this also the case with Anker?

I ordered the Anker as well after reading all the great reviews. I should be getting it tomorrow or Thursday!
Got Chitech and it works great.
try the yoobao 1700mAh!
36 hours of power with moderate usage!
4 hours of wifi
calls,3g and DATA on....
very glad to buy this model!!!!!!!
Got a chichitec and its awesome. Also picked up an anker. Just started using it this morning. I bet it will be the same deal as the chichi. Feels like the same battery with a different label wrapped around it.

Thanks for the heads up dude, I'm definitely going for a Chitech one. It looks cool to me.
Chichitec rocks socks.
I completely discharged , then charged in the wall charger 3x. Then I kept it in the phone the next cycle, overnight, and the thing took off ever since.
I've been getting a full days use with, normal for me use, where im usually dying by 5 or 6 pm I'm now left with battery to spare when I go to bed between 10-12.
I unplug in the morning around 7 am.
Couldn't be happier, and for a normal day I wont need a spare. :-D

I'm dead happy with my Anker battery. Great value and proven to perform better than the stock battery.
I'm fairly happy with the Stock battery of my Sensation XE, but I hear a lot of people have the 1900mAh Anker and are even happier than I am!
Hi I'm really happy with Anker. It is affordable. But beware of fakes . EBay has had a few fakes being sold where if you peel back the paper on the battery It's really another battery under the sticker. I advise to purchase off Amazon or different web site than eBay for battery. My anker battery has improved + my battery life significantly! You will be happy with the results. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Hi there, I am very very happy with my Anker battery! It makes quite a difference! I was fed up with my stock battery draining so fast. I got Anker to try out and its been wonderful! When you buy it buy it off amazon because eBay sometimes sells counterfeit . They put a sticker over the actual battery making it look like a long lasting battery when its really not. Just to be safe, is shop Amazon . You will be amazed At the difference the Anker will make! Hope this helps you out ! Best wishes!

Should have checked the manufacture date and the sellers reviews
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Sadly this is very common. There is a lot of fake batteries going around. This is why it's best to just buy a battery from a reputable dealer. It will cost more but at least your getting the real deal. Personally I've never had trouble with anker but I decided I needed more juice and just went with mugen. I got the big 3800mah battery. It was expensive but worth it for me. Mugen also had 1900Mah for about forty or thirty dollars. Get the battery directly from mugen because of the fakes floating around. I am very sorry this happened to you. Sometimes we live and learn. Hope you can get your money back. Best wishes

Did you buy it FROM Amazon or ON Amazon?
There's a HUGE difference.
Amazon is both a seller itself and a website that hosts other sellers.
Amazon is a reuptable seller.
But there are bad sellers who use Amazon as well.

Are you satisfied with Mugen 3800mah battery? What is the maximum battery timing without charge? Please reply.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Hi yes I'm very very happy with the 3800mah. It lasts about two days. With extremely heavy use about 20 hours. However it's not for everyone because it does make the phone thicker, new back is included. For me it didn't matter because I was after battery life and it don't bother me at all. I can still put phone in pocket and it feels good in my hand. It's really not a big deal but for some people it might be. If your after battery life then it's the only way to go! I know it's expensive but honestly for me it's worth it because battery was my biggest issue. If you do decide to get one make sure to calibrate instructions included. You won't worry about battery again! Make sure to get the 3800 it's been amazing! Honestly I can't say enough great stuff about it! You will stay on 100% for two hours with heavy use! For me it was the answer to my battery issues. Hope this helps and best wishes!

If you bought it somewhat recently, contact Amazon and tell them you want a new one.
Amazon is really awesome about returns and exchanges, especially when the item is faulty/broken/not as advertised. They'll pay the return shipping and everything.
Here's their policies.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=901888
I've never had even a remote problem returning something to Amazon. They are absolutely fantastic. Of course that's here in the US. I don't know if they have a different system in Germany, but I can't image they would have dramaticly different return policies.

Thank you so much for your detailed review.. I am considering the purchase of this battery, but as you said, I am worried about the thickness of the phone..
Well let see..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
You know I got used to the thickness quite fast surprisingly.at first it was a bit awkward But for me I had had it with crappy battery life and it was no beauty contest, so the thickness really didn't bother me at all. In fact it just reminded me that finally I don't have to worry about my battery!
It still feels good in your hand but takes a bit of getting used to. After awhile you won't even notice it. It's just at first your like wow this is thick! Then as you use your device it simply becomes the normal. Just with amazing battery life! If you do decide to get one purchase directly from mugen to prevent any fakes or counterfeit battery. That's what I did. So many fakes going around! Also tip, get the 3800mah it's there newest improved battery and it's really amazing! The 3600 is the older model. Honestly I know it's expensive but in the long run it's worth it. It's just getting over the thickness. But it still goes in the pocket. Also I got a case for mine that clips on to stuff to carry it easier. The back that comes with it could be built better I think but the battery itself is completely awesome! I don't regret buying it. Really the thickness is the only part that you have to over come. And like I said believe or not you do get used to it. Hope this helps a bit. This is my honest review. If you can over come the thickness it's an amazing battery. Best wishes to you.

There's nothing wrong with it. The HTC reports the Anker battery as 1520 which is the stock value when you don't put a battery it recognises in. There is another thread somewhere on here which has gone through this fairly thoroughly.
